Snapshots - Freedom to Experiment

BlenderAddon in Presets

Freedom To Experiment

A professional version-control workflow for Blender. Capture inspiration, chase radical ideas, and weave versions of your vision seamlessly.

The Linear Way

Static files limit vision. Every adjustment feels like a permanent commitment you can't undo.

The Snapshots Way

Non-destructive exploration. Branch out, test wild ideas, and return to safety instantly.

Global & Partial Snapshots

Isolate your experiments. Create snapshots of individual materials, node trees, actions, or objects without ballooning your project's file size.

❖
Material & Shader States Save iterations of complex node networks directly from the Shader Editor.
❖
Action & Animation Takes Snapshot the active Action in the Dopesheet or Graph Editor to safely A/B test motion.
❖
Isolated Object States Lock in the position, modifiers, and constraints of a single hero asset.
❖
World & Scene Layers Snapshot lighting environments or View Layer settings without affecting objects.

Animation Iteration

Restore the exact keyframes of a specific bone or a set of F-Curves without losing the progress you've made on the rest of the rig.

❖
Pinpoint Channel Recovery Select individual transform channels in the Graph Editor—like a specific axis of rotation—and restore only those curves.
❖
Ghost Curves Support Project past iterations directly into the Graph Editor as Ghost Curves for precise visual comparison before committing.
❖
Bulletproof Drivers Safely revert complex driver variables, targets, and expressions without breaking rig relationships.
Animation Iteration Demo

Iterate On Stacks

Whether you are building complex Geometry Node chains, rigging with constraints, or color grading in the viewport compositor, you can explore variations and revert seamlessly.

Stack Restoration Demo
❖
Modifiers Preserve complex generator and deformer chains.
❖
Constraints Safely test rigging relationships and limits.
❖
Compositing Swap color grades and viewport effects instantly.

Property-Level Restoration

Pull specific settings—roughness, light power, constraints, or custom node parameters—from any previous iteration without overwriting your whole scene.

Property Recovery Demo
❖
Procedural Snapshots Explore Geometry Node & Modifier setups safely.
❖
Bulletproof Animation Safely restore F-Curves, drivers, and keyframes.

Recover The Past

The Recover Deleted Data tool acts as a bridge to every iteration. Retrieve assets set aside days ago, mapped back perfectly to their original collections.

Contextual Tools

Access your history directly where you need it.

↺
Bulk Selection Retrieval
Merge geometry, properties, or constraints across multiple selected objects simultaneously.
⋈
Right-Click To Restore
Right-click almost any property value, modifier, or constraint in the UI to seamlessly revert it.
◈
Workspace Integration
Dedicated panels in the Node Editor, Dopesheet, and Graph Editor to load specific networks and actions.
